Evacmod.net - Evacuation Modelling Portal

This is the evacuation modelling portal for the simulation of human behaviour during emergency situations. The site is made by the evacuation modelling community for the evacuation modelling community.
 
Almost all content on the site is user generated (by users logging on and entering the information). It is Evacmod.net's aim to to provide a platform for students, fire safety engineers, software engineers, behavioural scientists, researchers or any interested parties to communicate, and share their knowledge and experience. By providing such a platform it is hoped that the field of evacuation modelling will be further advanced. It is hoped a variety of perspectives are expressed in an environment that is free from political or commercial bias.
 
The site has undergone a number of significant developments. It now has a wider array of features that should benefit the users and better enable the sharing of thoughts and ideas. The website now includes several sections: 
 
1. Literature - if you have recently written or read a paper/piece of literature, then you can share the article's intro/abstract and relevant link to the full-text in our Literature section. This way it can be brought to the attention of other people in the evacmod community who also might be interested in it. After logging in, just use the 'Submit Literature' link in the menu to the left, OR, if you have read a piece of literature already on the site, then you can share your opinion of the paper by writting a comment. Comments are displayed below the literature so potential new readers can see what other people thought of the literature.

2. Forum - if you want to ask a question, join a debate or just find out information about an evacuation modelling related topic, then you can post a message in the forum. After logging in, just click on the 'Forum' link at the top-right of the page.

3. Model Directory - to view a list of some of the most common evacuation models, click on the 'Models' link to the top-right of the page. Links are provided to associated websites if available.

4. Events Calendar - if you want to advertise/let others know about an event related to evacuation modelling, then this can be posted on the Events Calendar. After logging in, just use the 'Submit Event' link in the menu to the left, OR to view a list of events for the current month, click on the current month under the Events title in the right side bar. If you want to view events in the future, click on the double arrow ">>" after the month/year above the calendar to move to another month.
